Most of our course is hands-on. During the hands-on portion of the course, participants will learn how to navigate the latest version of the Protégé and WebProtégé toolsets, which support the full OWL 2 standard. Protégé is the most popular and widely used ontology editor in the world with a vibrant community of over 300,000 registered users.
The course is taught by members of the Protégé team. Enrollment is limited to ensure optimal learning experiences.
Target audience members include everyone who wishes to develop or enhance their skills for building OWL ontologies using Protégé. The course can benefit both beginners with no prior experience of the Protégé toolset and/or ontology development and intermediate users of Protege Desktop or WebProtege. In order to provide a successful learning experience, we expect that the participants are proficient with common computer usage tasks (e.g., downloading files, installing applications, copy-and-paste, using a text editor, using a Web browser, etc.).
If you have any questions about the course content please contact us.
The Protégé Short Course is a hands-on course. This section contains detailed instructions for installing the required software components that will be used during the course.
We highly recommend that you install the required software on your laptops before the start of the course in order to avoid holding up sessions for software installation issues.
Please note that we do not provide laptops or computers for participants
We encourage participants to consult the following introductory materials before the course:
The only required software for the hands-on part is Protégé.
The detailed, step-by-step installation instructions for different platforms are available here.
If you are using macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or a newer version, please note the additional
one-time step
needed to run Protégé.
We will use Protégé {{info.protege.version}} for
the
course. Please make sure
that you have this version installed on your laptops prior to the course.
You may download and install Protégé from the main Protégé
website.
During the course, we will install additional Protégé plugins. We will also use WebProtégé, which requires a Web browser, preferably Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
We also encourage the participants to download Protégé prior to the course, and open and browse a couple of ontologies to get familiar with the user interface.
If you have any questions or problems installing Protégé prior to the course, please contact us.
Typically twice a year: in the Fall and Spring breaks at Stanford University. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we do not expect to be able to host a course on-campus until the Summer of 2021 (at the earliest).
